2006 was my first full year on the job at NetJets. Jan - Apr I was in training and didn't start flying the line until May so the "soft money" figures are a bit smaller than what I'm on track to make this year. (2007)
Base Salary: 46,290 (I worked the Reserve schedule the entire year)
Per Diem: 6700
Over Time: 2460
Extended Days: 960
Holiday Pay: 1290
Soft Money: 2750
Total: $60450
I'm in one of the busiest fleets (Citation X) so my OT numbers are a bit higher than the average bear.
Wow, I was on the 7 on 7 off schedule and made about 44,000 first year.
I bet you are real proud of the SOFT money. If every pilot got 2750 in soft money a year that would cost NJA 7.4 million. Earn those tips my friend.
The fact is the pay at NetJets is terrible. Expect to make 10 to 12 percent over base salary. Even with that NJA can't touch the airlines or a corporate job.
To each his own. I love the crews at NJA, I liked the company, but I didn't like the compensation. Even the guys that benifited most from the last contract aren't compensated on par with most corporate gigs. I have a great deal of respect for NJA pilots and I think they deserve to be at the pinnacle of pilot pay scales.
